[Verse]
B
If she wants to dance and drink all night
E
then there’s no one that can stop her.
G#m
She’s going until the house lights
E
come up or her stomach spills onto the floor.
B
This night is going to end when
E
we’re damn well ready for it to be over.
G#m
Worked all week long now
E
the music is playing on our time.
F# E
We do what we do to get by,
and then we need a release
[Chorus]

[Verse]
B
You get mixed up with the wrong guys,
E
you get messed up on the wrong drugs.
G#m
Sometimes the party takes you places
E
that you didn’t really plan on going.
B
When people see the track marks on her arms
E
she knows what they’re thinking.
G#m
She keeps on working for that minimum,
E
as if a high school education offered
any other options.
G#m E
They don’t know nothing about redemption.
B E
They don’t know nothing about recovery.
F#
Some people just ain’t the type
E
for marriage and family.
[Chorus]
B
No mother ever dreams that her daughters
going to grow up to be a junkie.
(Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah)

No mother ever dreams that her daughters
going to grow up to sleep alone.

[Verse]
B
She’s out of step with the style,
E
she don’t know where the actions happening
G#m
You know the downtown club scene
E
ain’t nothing like it used to be.
B
You reach a point where there’s not a lie
E
in the world that you could use to make
G#m
the believe your still in your twenties.
E
They keep getting younger don't they baby.
G#m
She’s not waiting for someone
E
to come over and ask for the privilege.
B
She can still hear that Rebel Yell
E F#
just as loud as it was in 1983.
There ain’t no Johnny coming home to share
E
a bed with her and she doesn’t care.
[Chorus]

No mother ever dreams that her daughters
